Zenless Zone Zero Artwork 6

Zenless Zone Zero’s PvP modes, led by the En-Nah Chess Legend format, challenge you to out-draft, out-combo, and out-position rivals using Agents and Bangboo in a tactical, fast-paced environment. Here are essential strategies and tips to help you win matches and climb ranks in competitive play.​​

1. Team Drafting & Composition

  • Know the PvP Rules: Draft format provides preset options, often with fixed gear/stats.​​
  • Synergy Wins: Build teams around strong elemental synergy and roles: Stun (Daze), Support (buff/debuff), and DPS (direct damage).
  • Agent Priorities: Lock in versatile agents like Ellen (Ice), Ukinami Yuzuha (Support), Astra or Ju Fufu (Buff), and central DPS like Fervent Fang (Fire).​
  • Bangboo Matters: Pick Bangboo companions that fit your comp; Amillion (crit boost) or Rocketboo (Fire synergy) provide huge team buffs.​

2. In-Match Combat Strategy

PvP MechanicWinning Approach
Perfect DodgeMaster invincibility frames for counterattacks ​
Chain AttacksSet up stuns, swap agents to extend vulnerability windows ​​
Assists & SwapsUse Defensive Assists to break enemy combos and tag in supports ​
Ultimate GaugePrioritize Support ultimates for team-wide buffs, then unleash Attack ultimates to finish fights ​

Combo Execution

  • Begin with support buffs → apply Stun/Daze (control) → finish with chained Attack agent ultimates.
  • Manage Assist Follow-Ups after swaps for extra daze and damage.​​
  • Advanced: Use long animation counterattacks (e.g., Allen’s Dodge counter, Lyn’s EX Special) for max punish.​​

3. Defensive Positioning & Timing

  • Learn enemy attack patterns; bait attacks, then counter with dodge + assist chain for max damage.​
  • Use environment awareness—avoid debuff fields (Miasmic Field) and leverage terrain for dodging.​
  • For controller players, haptic feedback can enhance timing for perfect dodges and parries.​

4. Progression, Gear, and Endgame Prep

  • Focus upgrades on 3-6 key Agents for efficient resource usage—spreading investments slows progression.​
  • In endgame PvP formats, elemental variance and disorder mechanics matter more than mono-element synergies; prep hybrid teams for boss-specific counters.​
  • Advanced teams stack dual anomaly setups (e.g., Miyabi + Yanagi + Soukaku) for amplified effect vs high-tier opponents.​

5. Expert PvP Tips

  • Draft for flexibility: Don’t tunnel on one damage type—counterpick to disrupt enemy combos.
  • Practice chain timing: The best PvP players maximize daze windows using advanced chain execution.
  • Don’t neglect Bangboo bench slots: Upgrades here provide passive bonuses in all PvP formats.​
  • Adapt to meta shifts: Watch patch notes and top player comps for best Agents and synergy trends.
